Li Yixuan looked at the two young people in front of him, "Old Wen, these two should still be students, are you sure you want to use them?" Li Yixuan whispered to Wen Bingxi.

"Who else can you use but them? They're all trainee screenwriters registered with the Screenwriters Guild, and the official screenwriter of your script won't come. ”

"Why?" asked Li Yixuan puzzled.

Wen Bingxi said: "Before I explain, let me ask you a question, are you a full-time screenwriter or a trainee screenwriter?"

"Although I have my own work, I have not been selected and screened by a Hollywood company, so I can only be regarded as a trainee screenwriter. "If you want to become a full-fledged screenwriter in Hollywood, you must have your own films, television, stage plays and other works that have been released, and if you don't have a work written by yourself, you can apply for a trainee screenwriter at the Screenwriters Guild. After the release of your own work, you can be upgraded to become an official member of the Screenwriters Guild, that is, an official screenwriter.

"That's right," Wen Bingxi explained, "Although you are not an official screenwriter, "Friends is your work after all, and what you need is not a screenwriter, but a screenwriter's assistant to help you perfect the plot of the script." Formal screenwriters are reluctant to come, so they can only find trainee screenwriters. The two people in front of you are both trainee screenwriters and students at USC College, who came to our company this year and will only graduate next year. They do not currently have their own registered works. ”

"What, they are all trainee screenwriters, and they don't have their own registered works, so how did they become trainee screenwriters?" Li Yixuan's voice unconsciously raised.

"Because we are USC students, we are studying screenwriting, and from the day we were admitted to USC, we automatically became trainee screenwriters. Li Yixuan's words just now were a little loud, and when the two of them heard it, one of the chubby little brothers explained, when Li Yixuan hadn't bought AMV, he was interning here, and he knew that the young man in front of him was the real boss of AMC, so he was very patient even if he explained, and he would not ridicule him because the other party was a yellow race.

If he does this, Li Yixuan can accuse him of racial discrimination, and the white fat man will definitely not be able to eat and leave, not to mention that Li Yixuan still has money, and a lawsuit can crush him to death.

"So that's the case," Li Yixuan looked at the white fat man and said, "I remember that the study period of the USC Film School is generally 5 years, and the screenwriting major is 6 years, and the two of you will graduate next year, so you haven't registered even a single work of your own with the Screenwriters Guild for so many years, or have you ever written it?"

"Of course I wrote it, but it was just a short paragraph, and what the Screenwriters Guild needed was a complete work. ”

At this time, another person said: "I have written a few works, but because the plot is similar to the work I produced, the Screenwriters Guild refused to register." I'm already dead set on writing my own scripts, and I will develop into adaptation and screenwriting in the future. The white fat man nodded his head as well.

Li Yixuan can see that these two people are specially looking for by Wen Bingxi, and any screenwriter with creative ability will not come to Li Yixuan as an assistant, even if he comes one day, he will leave.

But the two people in front of them will not, their creative ability is not high, even if they occasionally create works, because the quality is not high, Hollywood film and television companies will not adopt them, let alone release them, they can only adapt them according to existing works. This kind of screenwriter is also called adapted screenwriter, and there are many in Hollywood.

Don't think that literary creation is a very simple thing, tell you that it is difficult, many screenwriters have not created their own works in their lifetime, and can only adapt other people's works.

For example, this is the case with Disney Brothers, whose cartoons are all purchased from other authors, and after adaptation, they are made into animations and released. It's not that they haven't written their own scripts, but they all ended up hitting the streets, and their only success was to create the cartoon IP of Mickey Mouse, but Mickey Mouse's stories are written by special screenwriters, even if it is a short animation, the scripts are written by the screenwriters, and they can't write them themselves.

"What's your name?" Li Yixuan decided to take the two of them.

"My name is Jack. L. Lucas. Said the young white fat man.

"I'm Paul Felix. Another young white man said.

"Friends", also known as the Six, is a TV sitcom launched by NBC TV, a subsidiary of Warner Group, in 1994.

The show is a sitcom set in urban singles, and the main characters are 6 people, 3 men and 3 women. Each of these six people has its own characteristics.

Nika Geller, a chef by profession, is nosy, refuses to admit defeat, was obese when he was a child, and his grades were not as good as his brother's.

Rachel Green, Monica's high school classmate, escaped from the wedding to her dentist fiancé, a medical lady who has never been in the world, has a pampered personality, has no opinions, from not worrying about food and clothing to supporting herself, she was originally a waiter at the "Central Cafe", and later joined a clothing company as a purchasing assistant.

Rose Geller is Monica's older brother and had a crush on his sister's classmate Rachel in high school, but he never dared to confess, his personality was a bit rigid, and he was a museum archaeologist by profession.

Chand Bean is Rose's college classmate and is a bit neurotic, while Phoebe Barfay, Monica's old roommate, moved out because he couldn't stand his cleanliness fetish, has a low IQ but is silly and cute.

Joey Trebioni and Chand, roommates in a shared apartment, have well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and are a typical actor struggling on the brink of poverty.

It can be seen that this drama draws on RB's anime settings, and the previous comics, whether they are American comics or Japanese comics, are all based on individual heroes, such as "Captain America", "Astro Boy", etc. are all masterpieces of that period, and "Oolong Police Station" is a very representative comic, he is different from the previous comics, he created the practice of replacing the previous individual heroes by team combinations.

RB's comic industry is extremely developed, and in the long-term comic creation, they have summed up a successful business experience - the royal road.

The so-called royal road is the three elements of blood, friendship, and hard work, that is, by building a team, all three elements are displayed.

Generally speaking, as an RB comic, the protagonist needs to be single-celled, the supporting role needs to be a handsome guy, and the three no-haves plus a hot-blooded part-time funny teenager - such a four-person group, this is what RB people call a royal combination.

Such four people can be hot-blooded, can work hard, and can brush each other's favorability, among these people, some people are cool, some are cute, some are funny, and there are beautiful characters to attract popularity. At the critical moment, the handsome guy is in trouble, and the hot-blooded protagonist comes to the rescue, full of basic feelings...... Oh no, friendship. Because it's easy to use, this kind of mode is spread across multiple universes, and the foursome may be a man who dreams of becoming the king of the pirates, a great ninja who has a mouth, or a high school student who plays basketball or a superpower, but such a fixed combination model will generally not change - so this is the so-called royal road, hot blood, friendship, plus handsome, cool, funny and other elements, which is enough for the comics.

This is a new comic development model, and "Friends" fully draws on the characteristics of RB comics, turning 4 people into 6 people in the setting, but the core essence has not changed, highlighting a certain characteristic of each person, and then diluting the characteristics of the other side, so that several people form a team, you can form a good team.

The six people in "Friends" have different occupations and personalities, but some are naturally kind, so when people with different personalities meet together and combine them, they burst into various stories and jokes.

However, "Friends" is too American, and every joke reflects a deep American culture, and there is a subject that is close to the times.

Because, "Friends" was released in 1994, and many events have not happened in 79 years; therefore, even if Li Yixuan copies it, he can't copy it all, he can only copy an outline, especially some historical stalks, because it hasn't happened yet, Li Yixuan has to find other stalks to replace it, so even if it is copied, Li Yixuan is also more painful to copy, and the game plot also borrowed a plot from the later "Love Apartment".

It took countless brain cells and two months to finally complete the script of "Friends".

The next step is to write a production plan, which does not need Li Yixuan's concern, Wen Bingxi will arrange it, and he will hand it over to a middle-aged man named Tom Lively .

What Li Yixuan didn't expect was that it took him a full month to hand in the plan, which made him very unhappy. So, when Tom Raffly handed in the plan, Li Yixuan came to Wen Bingxi's office to see what the shooting plan that had taken him a month to do was really like.

Wen Bingxi saw Li Yixuan's face full of inferiority, and his eyes looked at Tom as if he was nothing, he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't plan to say anything, he just said very calmly, "Xuan Shao is here, sit down." ”

With that, he looked down at the plan Tom handed in.
